It's nothing for recoil, like seriously it's so little recoil that my 13yr old can shoot my 5lb 280ai in the same platform. Some rifle stocks are designed wallop you, some are designed to absorb recoil. I don't think your calculator can incorporate that into its equation.
That's a heavy rifle! 12lbs!!! I'd hate to have to hunt with one of those. I had a couple Weatherby Accumarks, great shooters but they sucked to pack around all day.
